I went to my shrink's office yesterday and waited. I went to high school with the receptionist and she told me to come back at 2:15pm adn she'd tell
him I was there. He saw me around 2:45pm. I love my shrink. He looks like Sigmeund Froid (sp?). He's REALLY laid back, short, fat guy that wears
suspenders and bow ties. I can tell him anything and he always has teh calmest, most supportive advice to me. We talked at length about meth addiction. He
is somewhat fascinated by it and told me that most others in his profession are as well. He said the psychiatric world is struggling to find treatment for it.
The cravings, the dopamine, the messed up receptors. He told me that the jury is still out on whether or not the brain is permanently damaged or whether or
not it DOES repair itself from meth use/abuse.
Anyway, Brett has not called. He is at his parent's house. They are all going to his grandmother's for Thanksgiving. I did take Candice over there this morning. She'll have a great time -- there are tons of kids there. It is his father's side of the family. His father has 7 sisters and brothers. So, it's a huge gathering with lots going on/kids, etc. I told his mother I had nothing to say to him. She told me that he is now saying he's going to try and go work at the south campus of Penfield. WHATEVER. I know they will not let him now. Oh, they know by the way. A guy that graduated and Brett was hanging out with - invited to church (very nice guy, married with 2 small kids) ---- well, that guy called and told one of teh servant leaders at the main campus. So, God worked it out for me so that I didn't have to be one who "told". I know that they will not let him back around unless it's to go back through the program.
I cried and cried yesterday. They're playing Christmas music --- which I LOVE - I have tons of Christmas CD's. It is my favorite time of year. And, B has ruined it every year for the past 3 years. I am done volunteering for this mess.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I get my 10 year old at 5pm today. I'm making mac/cheese for her and we're going to hang out, maybe get the tree out, etc. She deserves to have a good time with me. My kids deserve BETTER than whta that a-hole is offering.
